Cassie is working on a project about classifying cells as either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. She made a drawing of the cell that he observed under an electron microscope and he labeled its parts. Cassie’s labeled drawing is shown. How should she classify the cell and which statement provides evidence for this choice?
Prokaryotic. It has a nucleus.
Animal. It is prokaryotic.
Eukaryotic. It has a nucleus.
Plant. It has chloroplasts.
Chase is classifying this cell as a prokaryotic cell. What evidence is there to support his claim?
The cell has organelles.
The cell lacks a cell wall
The cell lacks a nucleus.
Which part of a cell will identify it as prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
organelles
mitochondria
cell wall
defined nucleus
Nadia is classifying cells as either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. She observed a cell under an electron microscope that has a cell wall but does not have a nucleus. How should she classify this cell?
Multicellular
Prokaryotic
A student identified protists as belonging to the domain Eukaryota. Select two other groups of organisms that are classified in the domain Eukaryota.
Thermophiles
Animals
Which correctly identifies the domain label for X and what evidence supports this?
Archaea. The domain is Protista because organisms in this domain include a nucleus in their cells.
Protista. The domain is bacteria because organisms in the fungi kingdom are types of bacteria.
Bacteria. The domain is archaea because organisms in this domain can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic.
Eukarya.The domain is eukarya because all organisms in this domain have a nucleus in their cells.
How do plants reproduce?
Plants reproduce through sexual and and asexual reproduction.
The table lists characteristics of a specific taxonomic classification. Which kingdom is best described by these characteristics?
